[WATER RUNNING]
Good morning.
[WATER RUNNING]
Pam, what's the matter?
Pam?
Honey, what's the matter?
You look like you just saw a ghost.
For a minute, I thought I did.
Now, what are you talking about?
You. Oh, Bobby, it was awful.
When I woke up.NI thought that you were dead.
- What?N- I had a nightmare.
A terrible nightmare.
I dreamed that you were here,Nand you were leaving.
And Katherine was in her car,Nand she was waiting.
When we started to leave,Nshe tried to run me down.
[VOICE BREAKING]NYou pushed me out of the way.
Then she hit you. And she crashedNinto a truck, and she was killed.
And then we took you to the hospital,Nand you died.
Hey.
Pam, I'm right here, and I'm fine.
Oh, there was so much more,Nand, Bobby, it seemed so real.
There was Sue EllenNand there was Mark...
...and I was married.
Hey, you are going to be married, to me.NJust as soon as we can.
[CRYING]NI was so afraid.
Oh, I love you so much.
Honey.
It's over.
None of that happened.
We're together...
...and I love you.
And I'm getting you all wet.
Bobby, don't ever leave me.
Don't ever leave me.
I won't.
I love you.
J.R.:NDamn.
It's getting worse every day.
Less than a thousand drilling rigsNin operation.
Is that bad?
Bad? It's a disaster.
The price of oil is down.
Companies going belly-upNall over the place.
- Arabs flooding us with their oil.N- What about Ewing Oil?
Well, it could happen to usNif I don't do something about it.
Can you?
Hand me the phone over there, honey.
Ahem.
Hello, Sly. It's J.R. here.
Listen, get down to the officeNright away.
Get a hold of Forbes and DavisNand the rest of my field managers.
Tell them I want a meeting in my officeNat 11:00.
Yeah, that's right, 11:00.NYou can do it.
All right.
Boy, there's gonna beNa lot of unhappy faces when I get there.
You gonna file them?
Well, not exactly.
Anything I do will be just stopgap.
What we needNis for the price of oil to go up to 30.
J.R., I know you've got a lotNon your mind, but--
But what?
[SIGHS]
Well, Sue Ellen's still at Southfork,Nand I'm still here.
It won't be too long now, darling.
She's drinking up a storm again.NA little bit more, and I'll be able...
...to get her into some place whereNshe can get all the help she needs.
- Well, I wish there was another way.N- So do I.
But it's the only wayNI can be sure of keeping my boy.
It's...
It's the best grounds in the worldNfor a clean divorce.
I suppose.
It is. Believe me.
[SIGHS]
You suppose there's any chance in theNworld that that Iraq-Iran war will spread?
[CAR HORN HONKS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Honey.
There's nobody there.
- No.N- Nobody.
Nobody.
Hah. Well, this should be quite a day.
- I have to talk to Jenna.N- You want me there?
No.
No, I'd better do it myself.NShe senses something's wrong.
She may even know what.NBut that's not gonna make it any easier.
Wait till Cliff and J.R. find out.
Well, I don't care about them.
I just wish this whole thingNwere over and done with.
It will be soon.
And then I'm never letting goNof you again.
Better not.
- I love you.N- Mm.
[PAMELA CHUCKLING]
- See you tonight.N- Uh-huh.
I love you too.
[ENGINE STARTS]
- Morning.N- Morning.
MAN: What do you want for breakfast?N- Just coffee.
- I talked to Lucy this morning.NSUE ELLEN: How nice.
She sounded very happy.
That puts her one up on all of us.
What, Sue Ellen?
Well, look around.
The ladies of Southfork.
I don't see any men.
Don't they live here anymore?
They certainly don't spendNtheir nights here.
Well, maybe Clayton.
Stop it, Sue Ellen.NYou're not the only one with a problem.
Well, that's very easy to see.
Don't compare the others to J.R.
[SCOFFS]
There is no comparison.
But a Ewing is a Ewing...
...is a Krebbs.
If you have problems,Ndo something about them.
But don't just mope around hereNand spoil my day.
I, for one.Nam very happy with my husband.
If I weren't, I'd make changes.
If the men aren't here,Nwhose fault is it?
Whose fault indeed?
CLIFF:NI don't believe it.
I don't wanna hear this, Harry.NDon't tell me that.
I'm only suggestingNcutting back operations in the gulf...
...till the price of oil goes back upNto 25 or so.
What am I supposed to doNin the meantime?
340 produces most of the incomeNfor Barnes-Wentworth.
Now I'm supposed to just close down?NI'm supposed to take a vacation...
...and somehow hopeNthat the price of 0” comes back up?
That's exactly what prudent oilmenNare doing.
I cannot afford to be a prudent oilman.NI never have been, and I never will.
I need 340 pumping.NI need the money it brings in.
- But, Mr. Barnes, it's not--N- No “buts," Harry.
Thanks for coming by.NI appreciate your concern.
Come on. I need 340 pumping.
HARRY: Well, it's your company.N- That's right, it's my company.
I need it pumping,Nand I need it selling.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Damn.
- He makes a lot of sense, Cliff.N- Course he does.
But I don't have any choice.
It's all that cheap OPEC oilNthat's killing me.
- There must be something you can do.N- What?
Costs me $10 a barrel. The SaudisNbring it up for a buck a barrel.
They're still making a profit whileNthe Texas independents are going broke.
Well, why did they let all that oilNinto the country so cheap?
What do you mean?
It seems to me that it allNthe independents would get together...
...they could have the governmentNput a tax on all the imported oils...
...so that it would cost 20Nor $25 a barrel.
That way, you'd get more moneyNfor your oil.
Never happen.NBelieve me, never happen.
Well, it sure makes a lot of senseNto me.
That's because you don't understandNthe oil business.
- Yes, I do.N- Don't wanna argue with you.
Just make me a cup of coffee, please.
Well, I don't understandNhow to make coffee either.
So if you want it, you better make it.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]
- Good morning, J.R.N- Morning.
- Sly, is everybody here?N- Yes, most of them.
Mr. Forbes and the other menNare waiting.
All right, come on in.NI'm gonna need you.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting, boys.
Had personal business to take care of.NAnybody want any coffee?
No, thanks. We'll just as soon hearNwhat you got to say.
Well, might as wellNget straight to the point.
I don't need to tell youNwhat terrible shape the oil business is in.
No, sir.NThat's why we figured we're here.
Yeah. Well, you're right.NSly, pass these around.
Mm-hm.
Now, this is a production reportNof last month.
You all have stripper wellsNin your area.
I want them shut down.
Anything pumping lessNthan 12 barrels a day...
...I want plugged up as of right now.
You know once we plug them upNthey're down for good.
It'll cost more to reopen themNthan they'll be worth.
That's right.NBut that oil will still be in the ground.
And once we stop pumping,Nthat pressure can start building up again.
Those strippers make up 15 percentNof Ewing's production.
I know. With the cost of maintenanceNand electricity and the crews...
...I can't afford to keep them open,Nnot with prices the way they are.
Your daddy startedNa lot of those fields.
And if he were here,Nhe'd be doing just what I'm doing.
- That's all, gentlemen. Thank you.N- That's gonna put people out of work.
- They're gonna be unhappy.N- Well, tell them to blame OPEC, not me.
I'm just doing what any sensible oilmanNdoes in times like these.
Well, I blame them,Nand that's for sure.
What we need is one big atom bombNright there in the middle of Saudi Arabia.
I know you boys are upset...
...but we can't go aroundNdoing something like that, can we?
Come on, get. Get.
MAN 1:NCome on. Hyah!
Hold tight.
Okay, let her out.
- Hyah! Hyah!NMAN 2: Whoa.
All right, that's it till after lunch.
[CHUCKLES]
That must've beenNabout the 10,000th calf I've branded.
Also, very hot work.
I mean, whoo, why do you do it?NYou got plenty of help.
- I know. Feels good, I guess.N- Yeah.
One of the first things old Jock hadNme doing when I landed on Southfork.
Kind of work that makes youNpay attention to what you're doing.
[CHUCKLES]
That was along time ago.
Yeah, that was along time ago,Nall right.
[SNIFFS]
Unless I start doing some changing...
...I guess I'll go to my graveNas foreman of Southfork.
That bother you?
Some.
Been thinking about it a lot.
Been thinking I want more.
Something with my name on it.
- You don't mean leaving Southfork?N- Well, not exactly.
I wanna start my own business.
Getting into cutting horses.NRaising them, breeding them.
Having something of my own.
Well, there's nothing wrongNwith that...
...but what made you thinkNabout cutting horses?
Well, there's something real specialNabout a good cutter.
Besides, it's the kind of work I like.
It's outdoors,Nworking with good animals.
I was wondering if maybe you'd likeNto go in on it with me.
- Why me?N- Well, you appreciate good livestock.
You like working around the ranch.
Mm-hm.
Besides, it's betterNthan those smelly refineries of yours...
...down there in Texas City.
- You never go there anyhow.N- Ha-ha-ha.
- Might give you something to do.N- Well, that's true.
[SIGHS]
This new business of yours...
...does it have anything to doNwith the fact that Donna is pregnant?
She told me.
And she also told meNsomething I already knew.
That you two were having troubles.
We can take care of our troubles.
I hope so.
This new businessNone way of doing it?
Maybe.
Maybe that's part of it.
But mostly, I just think a man ought toNhave more to pass on to his child...
-...than just being foreman of a ranch.N- Hmm.
I'm not saying there's anything wrongNwith running a ranch. I'm just saying...
...I want more.
And this is not for Donna.NThis is for me.
Well, that's a mighty good reason.
[SIGHS]
Let me think on it.
Sure.
I'd like to have you for a partner,NClayton.
But if I have to do it on my own, I will.
Hmm.
Fair enough.
[LAUGHS]
[CAR PULLING UP]
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
Jenna.
I missed you for breakfast.NYou must've gotten an early start.
No, I wasn't here for breakfast.
Is Charlie home?
I need to talk to both of you.
She went to camp this morning,Nbut she'll be back tomorrow.
- Can it wait?N- No.
I don't think it should.
Jenna, I've...
I've known you all my life.
I owe you so many things.
- And the truth is one of them.N- I don't wanna know the truth.
Not your truth.
I want you to love me.NI want us to be married.
We can't be married.
You felt that. You told me so.
I don't care anymore. I was wrong.
All I ever wantedNwas for us to be married.
I was with Pam last night.
I asked her to marry me.
What do you expect me to say?
Do you want me to congratulate you?
- To wish you well?N- I just hope you'll understand.
Jenna, I've loved PamNsince the first day I saw her.
I always have. I always will.
And I know how much this must hurt,Nbut, believe me...
...it's better that I tell you now.
Oh, is it?
Well, I'll tell you what I understand.
That because of Pam,Nyou'll never be my husband...
...and you'll never be Charlie's father.NDon't touch me. Don't touch me.
[SIGHS]
Sly, would you come in here a minute?
Yes, sir?
Would you get in touch with himNfor me?
- Oh, that's General Langley.N- Retired.
He was booted out of the Air ForceNfor warmongering.
Sir?
His plan for world peaceNwas to bomb all of our enemies.
I met him a couple of times.
If he's in town, see if you can fix upNa little lunch for me, will you?
Lunch?
Well, I just wanna hear his viewsNon the world situation.
From a military point of view,Nso to speak.
Oh.
[DOOR CLOSES]
WOMAN 1: Yes, well, anyway.Nwe should have a nice lunch at least.
WOMAN 2: Yeah.NWOMAN 1: That's how it goes.
- Where are you going so early?N- It's not early, it's lunchtime.
Oh. Any messages?NAnything important?
Pam's there.NShe's waiting to talk to you.
She has some wonderful news for you.
Well, I could use some good newsNright about now.
Do me a favor,Nmake it a short lunch, will you?
I hate to answer my own phone.
- Pam?NPAMELA: In here.
Yeah.
Here you go.
How come a drink?NAre we celebrating something?
- I hope so. I know I am. Heh.N- Hmm.
- Jackie told me you had good news.N- The best.
- Mm-hm.N- Why don't you sit down?
- It's so good I should sit down?N- Oh, I think you should.
[SIGHS]
Bobby came over last night.
Don't tell me this is gonna beNa conversation about Bobby.
He's not going to many Jenna.
He asked me to marry him...
...and I said yes.
I don't believe that!
You got rid of him. You got rid of them.NWe were a team.
I don't knowNhow you can go back with him.
- I love him.N- So what? You loved him before...
...and you divorced him, which happensNto be the best thing that you ever did.
How can you think about remarryingNhim? How can you do this to me?
Cliff, this doesn't have anythingNto do with you.
Of course it does.NIt changes everything.
- Why? I know you like Bobby.N- I like him, yeah, but he's a Ewing.
He is not gonna let youNcontinue to work with me.
And I need you.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm not going to leave you.
I'm gonna go on working here.NI want to. I know he'll understand.
Oh, yeah, sure he will,Nand so will J.R.
Cliff, I am so happy.
I want you to be happy for me.NCan't you share this with me?
I would like to,Nbut no good has ever come...
...from a marriage between a BarnesNand a Ewing.
What about you and Jamie?
Sure, she's a Ewing...
...but she's the only one thatNdoesn't own a piece of the company.
- That's a terrible thing to say.N- What did I say?
Oh, okay. All right.NSo I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
She's a great girl, and I love her,Nand, yeah.
[CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY]
[CHUCKLES]
There is one thing about this.
What?
I would love to be ally on the wall...
...and listen when Bobby tells J.R.Nabout this.
[LAUGHING]
_J.R___N- Bobby, you still working at Ewing Oil?
Is that supposed to mean something?
I was in the office today, taking careNof dirty business. Where were you?
I had things of my ownNI had to take care of.
Oh?
Bobby...
...the oil businessNis going down the drain.
I was forced to shut downNour stripper wells today.
I don't expect youNto make those decisions.
But it would be nice if you dropped intoNthe office and helped shoulder the load.
- Are you through?N- No.
I think you are.
- Shut up and listen to me.N- I don't care for that tone of voice.
Well, let's seeNhow much you care for this.
I asked Pam to marry me,Nand she said she would.
- You what?N- You heard me.
Well, what about Jenna?
How can you do this to her?
She'd make a perfect wife for you.NNot that Barnes woman.
I'm marrying Pam.
I cannot believe you're opening the doorNto the Barnes family again.
It didn't work.NWhat makes you think it'll work?
The reason it didn't work is there wasNinterference from both our families.
It's not gonna be that way this time.
I'm bringing Pam back hereNas my wife.
And the first timeNyou step out of line with her, J.R...
...Sue Ellen will beNa very attractive widow.
All right.
If you wanna ruin your life, go ahead.
But you're a whole lot dumber than INever thought a brother of mine could be.
With the exception of Ray and Gary,Nof course.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
CLIFF:NYes, Jackie?
JACKIE: Cliff, Marilee Stone and JordanNLee are here to see you.
Bring them right in.
I'll handle this.
- Hello, Marilee.N- Cliff.
- Jordan.N- Cliff.
- Where's Andy?N- He's over in town.
- They're shutting down some wells.N- Oh, my. It's a terrible time for all of us.
- Jackie, bring us some coffee, please.N- I'll put some up.
Hello, Jamie.
Mrs. Stone. Hello, Jordan.
What's so importantNyou got us here this early?
I don't have to tell youNthe trouble we're all in.
- That's for sure.N- Question is...
...what are we gonna do about it?
- Just ride it out till the price goes up.N- No, we can't afford to do that, Jordan.
We have to come upNwith some kind of a positive action.
- You have something in mind?NCLIFF: I do.
I've been giving this a lot of thought,Nand I've got a solution.
We gotta get all the independent oilmenNin Texas together...
...and we gotta go to Washington,Nand we gotta form a lobby.
We gotta get a tariff on importedNand bring the price up to $25 a barrel.
Cliff?
Then we get the price upNto $25 a barrel on imported...
...then we can charge 25,Nand we are back in business.
MARILEE: Some of the majors have triedNthat without much luck.
But they weren't united.
If we can get togetherNand fund this thing...
...we're gonna wind up with clout,Nthey're gonna pay attention.
I got to tell you, Cliff.Nthat makes a lot of sense to me.
It does, for a fact.NIt's a hell of an idea, Cliff.
- Oh, I know it is.N- It sure is. How'd you ever think of it?
Oh, what difference does that make?NNow, are we together?
- You bet.N- You can count on me.
Then we gotta get on the phone,Nstart calling those independents.
We gotta set up a meeting.
Gotta tell them about my idea.NI know they're gonna love it.
And the quicker we do it,Nthe better off we are.
Jackie, forget about that coffee...
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Hey, Jack. Where you off to?NI thought we had a meeting.
- We did, about 15 minutes ago.N- Oh, well, I'm sorry about that.
- I got hung up on the expressway.N- No problem.
- We'll do it some other time.N- Well, wait. I'm here now. We could talk.
I didn't knowNyour time was that important.
It's not. I just don't likeNhanging around offices, waiting.
Uh-huh.
- More of an outdoorsman, are you?N- Mm. Yeah, something like that.
Well, then maybe what I gotNto talk about's right on the money.
- Yeah? What's that?N- Your 10 percent of Ewing Oil.
I know you had high hopes for that...
...but look at what has happenedNto the oil business.
[LAUGHS]
Well, you must be downNto your last billion bucks by now, huh?
Yeah. You're making jokes,Nand we're in trouble.
It's gonna be along time...
...before you see a cent of profitNon that piece of yours.
Well, I came here with nothing.
I don't see how I have too much to lose,Ndo you?
Well, what if I had a way...
...of making that pieceNworth a heck of a lot of money?
- I'd listen.N- Sell it to me.
- Ho-ho.NJ.R.: Ha-ha-ha.
Now, J.R..NIf Ewing is in such trouble...
...why would you wantNa bigger piece of it?
This slump is not gonna last forever,Nyou know.
I can afford to sit it out. You can't.
Besides, when it's allover...
...I'd just as soon own 40 percentNas 30 percent.
So you get my 10 percent,Nplus one more...
...then you will control Ewing Oil.
Well, that doesn't really concern you,Ndoes it?
Look, I'm offering you a chanceNto get a lot of money, and right now.
Yeah, that's true.
I don't know.
I was getting used to my new family,Nmy sister.
I'm gonna have to think on it.
All right, fine. You think on it.NBut don't take too long.
I only make an offer once, so don't makeNthe mistake of turning it down, huh?
Well, I'll keep that in mind.
Nice talking to you.
Cousin.
RAY:NMorning.
DONNA:NMorning.
What's all this?
Ours.
I bought it.
I wanted to have a placeNfor us to start fresh...
...and not in that dinky little old houseNthat I built.
[SIGHS]
It's beautiful.
I wanted a placeNwhere you could be happy.
Where we could be happy together.
Now, it's empty, of course...
...but you could fix it upNand make it all your own.
That'd be nice.
The houseNwas never the problem, Ray.
I just feel like thingsNwould be different here.
I've changed. I want different things.
But mostly, what I wantNis for you and me to be together again.
I know that.
Just think what a wonderful placeNthis would be for our child to grow up.
A child needs a place like this.
And a family.
And a real mother and fatherNthat are together.
I told you before...
...a child is no reasonNto keep a marriage together.
It is the best reason in the worldNfor me.
I know that.
Look...
...I have a lot of thinking to do.
- And your pressing me like this, it isn't--N- I have to.
Because I love you,Nand I want you to come back to me.
I think you're more in love...
...with the idea of a wifeNand a family...
...than you are with me.
We have fundamental differences...
...and as far as I can see,Nnothing's changed.
[ENGINE STARTS]
GIRL: Bye, Charlie.N- Bye. See you tomorrow.
Hi, Bobby.
Were you waiting for me?
- Honey, I gotta talk to you.N- Did I do something wrong?
No. Come on.
[BOBBY SIGHS]
[BOBBY TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
CHARLIE:NNo!
- Jenna?NJENNA: Yes?
- Is there anything I can get you?N- No, Miss Ellie. Thank you.
She must be in such pain.
CLAYTON: She's gonna have toNcome out of there sometime.
ELLIE: I know. I'm sure she justNdoesn't wanna face any of us.
As happy as I am for Bobby and Pam...
...I can't help worryingNabout Jenna and Charlie.
Well, they are not the only onesNgoing through a rough time.
- Ray is hurting real bad.N- Mm. I know.
He's doing everything he can.
He bought a new house...
...and he wants to start upNa new business.
- Oh? What kind of business?N- Horse breeding.
He wants me to go in with him.
- Does he, now?N- He does.
- And did you give him an answer?N- Well, I told him I'd think about it.
It'd mean getting rid of my refineries,Nall my business interests in Houston.
And how do you feel about that?
Well, if you agree,NI think it's about time.
I'm nothing moreNthan an absentee owner anyway.
Well, nothing could please me moreNthan to have you around full-time.
If what you say about Ray is true, I thinkNhe could use a friend like you about now.
Well, we'll see himNin Fort Worth Stockyards tomorrow.
We'll give him an answer then.
Here I go.
PAMELA:NYaw . Ha-ha-ha.
That was great. Come on.
That's great. Come up to me. Uh-oh.
You'd better get outNbecause you're starting to wrinkle.
That was really good.
Here.
How's that?
It's gonna be neat when I haveNJohn Ross to play with me all the time.
That's right. So you do understandNwhat I've been telling you...
...about me and Daddy remarrying.
Yes. He'll be with us all the time,Nand we're gonna live at Southfork.
[CHUCKLES]NOh.
Well, I think so.NI know that's what Daddy wants.
Me too.NThey have horses and everything.
Well, they have everything all right.
[DOOR OPENS]
Daddy.
Hey. Hi, champ. How are you?
Mommy told meNwe're all gonna get married.
That's right. If you go inNand get some dry clothes on...
...I'll take us out to celebrate.
- Yeah.N- Okay, get going.
Bad, huh?
Yeah.
Charlie just ran away from meNwhen I told her.
She won't see me.NShe won't even talk to me.
- What about Jenna?N- About the same.
I'm sorry, Bobby.
I know how much this hurts you too.
Compared to what you went through,NCliff was a piece of cake.
- I can imagine.N- Oh, well, he raved and ranted at first.
But I think he understandsNhow happy this is going to make me.
I can't wait for him and J.R.Nto see one another.
Now they have something in common.NWe're ruining both their lives.
Well, I don't careNwhat anybody thinks.
I love you.
And that's all that counts.
We're gonna be together,Nand they have to learn to live with it.
I cannot believe that Bobby is gonnaNbring that woman back into our house.
She'll be snooping around,Ninterfering with Ewing business.
Probably go running off to that idiotNbrother of hers with the latest gossip.
Oh, come on. I don't know PamNthat well, but I really like her.
- She didn't seem that way.N- You're right about one thing.
- You really don't know her.N- Well, I know she really loves Bobby.
I'm happy for her. I think it's wonderfulNthey're getting married.
Oh.
I just wish it could be a double ceremonyNand we were getting married with them.
I don't know what is so wonderfulNabout marriage.
It hadn't worked out for me.
You told me you were marriedNto the wrong woman.
[SIGHS]
Yes, I am.NI'm gonna correct that real soon.
Just don't be too sureNBobby and Pam are gonna get married.
- What do you mean?N- Well, it's along way off.
Who knows what could go wrongNbefore then, huh?
[BOBBY CHUCKLING SOFTLY]
- Mm.N- Oh.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
You know...?
You know that lineNfrom the Woody Allen movie?
Which line?
“That was the most fun I ever hadNwithout laughing.“
- I must've missed that one.N- Yeah.
Well, he was right.
I think so too.
That reminds me.
These two guys are talking,Nand one says:
“Do you believe in premarital sex?“
And the other guy says...?
“Not if it makes me lateNfor the wedding.“
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Mama?
Yes, Charlie?
Can I come in?
Of course.
I couldn't sleep.
I know, honey. Come here.
What are we gonna do, Mama?
I don't know.
I'm scared.
I am too.

Well, picked upNsome real good-looking stock here today.
- Surprised to see you, Miss Ellie.N- Every time I come to these...
...I feel like a little girl sitting hereNwatching my daddy buying and selling.
- It's still exciting.N- Yes, ma'am.
Well, this just might beNyour last cattle auction.
- How's that?N- I told Miss Ellie about your new venture.
And the fact that you and INare gonna be partners.
- We are?N- All it takes is a handshake.
Amen to that, partner.

Ray, have you told Donna about this?

I guess you know I bought a new house.NReal nice spread.
I was gonna have DonnaNmeet me there...
...tell her about the new business.NShe wasn't interested in the house.
I didn't expect she'd be interestedNin the business.
I'm sorry, Ray.
You should be happy, not sad.NBobby and Pam getting back together.
Clayton and I starting a new business.NThings are looking up.
Things have a habitNof working themselves out.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
Bobby. Bobby.
- David, how are you? Good to see you.N- Good to see you.
Okay. All right, ladies and gentlemen,NI just wanna go over this one more time.
Now, I know that I'm right about this.
Now, I'd like to head a committee with,Nsay, Marilee and Jordan...
...and a couple of others, and we needNto hire a lobbyist in Washington.
Somebody that's got a lot of cloutNthat can make them see...
...that we have to have a tariffNon all this cheap oil that's coming in...
...and get it up to, say, 20, $25.
Because if OPEC oil costs that,Nthen that's what we can charge.
Can't believe these people turned upNto listen to Cliff.
- You're here, aren't you?N- To watch him make an ass of himself.
MAN: We gonna decide...N- I don't know.
What he's sayingNseems to make good sense to me.
Does it?
Yep. Sounds like somethingNEwing Oil ought to get behind.
What makes you think you have anythingNto say about what Ewing Oil does?
[CLIFF SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
I own 10 percent.
Now, listen to me.
That does not give you a voiceNin Ewing Oil.
Bobby and I run the company. We don'tNneed advice from outsiders, so stay out.
[LAUGHS]
Boy, you're everythingNI heard you were. Worse.
- You ain't seen nothing yet, boy.N- I've seen all I need to see.
Why don't you go in?
I'll bet you already have.
CLIFF: Cheap? I don't-- Expensive?NLook, we-- No.
We need a line of authority.
- We need to communicate...N- What was that all about?
[SCOFFS]
He was trying to tell meNwhat Ewing Oil should do.
So he's nothing but a con manNwho chiseled us out of 5 percent each.
He kept Cliff BarnesNfrom getting his hands on Ewing Oil.
Ten percent is cheap enough for that.
Now, listen to me, Bobby.Nthat boy is trouble.
And the sooner we get rid of him,Nthe better off we're gonna be here.
